Excerpts from the biography, which contains information obtained from interviews with more than 100 people, including his friend, and about 40 interviews with Jobs himself has appeared in many media.
Below, we have identified some highlights from the transcript of the segment on Sunday evening. You can watch the full segment here.
Jobs Isaacson invited to write his biography seven years ago. Isaacson idea for "presumptuous and premature, since Jobs was still a young man." Isaacson did not know that at the time was that Jobs was about to undergo surgery for pancreatic cancer.
- Isaacson describes Jobs as "insolent" and "fragile." "He could be very, very much want people from time to time. Whether it was a waitress at a restaurant, or a guy who stayed up all night coding. ... And you would say," Why did you do it, why not Is it better? And he said: "I really want to be with people that need improvement. And this is who I am, "says Isaacson.
- Isaacson attributes much personality Jobs and drive to a few key moments in his childhood. Isaacson tells an anecdote involving the construction of the fence with his foster father, Paul. "And [Paul] said, 'You must do the back of the fence, which no one will see as good looking as the front fence. Although no one will see it, you know, and it shows that you "re an effort to make something perfect."
- The work was also influenced by the Bay Area, and not only Hewlett-Packard, offices located nearby, but his counter-culture spirit. "He was a kind of hippie-ish rebel child, loved to listen to the music Dylan, dropped acid, but he loved electronics," Isaacson describes. He says that when Jobs was working on the game maker Atari, they should have put him on the night shift, because he walked barefoot and never bathed, and employees do not want to work with him.
- The work took seven months to go from Atari, to travel to India. His meetings there, and Zen Buddhism "really informed his design sense," says Isaacson. "This notion that simplicity is the ultimate complexity [came from that trip]."
When Jobs returned, he began to make a primitive computer for the fans in the garage of his parents, Steve Wozniak, founder of another company, Apple. They started with $ 1,300. By the time Jobs was 25 Apple was worth "maybe $ 50 million," Jobs said in a tape Isaacson. "I knew that I never had to worry about money again."
- Work as a natural disdain for authority and felt that the usual rules do not apply to him, Isaacson explains. One manifestation of this principle could be seen in the sports coupe Mercedes he owned, which he refused to put on the license plate.
Isaacson says the House Jobs in Palo Alto, quite unremarkable. "[It's] house in the street with a normal a normal sidewalk. No big winding road. No large security fence," Isaacson said. He recalls that Jobs said that he "did not want to live that nutso lavish lifestyle that so many people when they become rich."
- Work really met his biological father, who once ran a restaurant in Silicon Valley. But the job never revealed her father, who he was. "I was in this restaurant once or twice, and I remember meeting the owner, who was from Syria," Jobs said on the tape. "And it was, of course, [the father]. And I shook his hand and he shook my hand. That's all."
- Cancer Steve Jobs was discovered by accident when he was checked for kidney stones in 2004. A cat scan revealed malignant tumors in the pancreas. Jobs delay surgery to remove it for nine months until he tried the number of natural remedies first. By the time he was operated on, the cancer has spread to tissues around the pancreas. Isaacson says he believes Jobs regretted the delay.
- During 2008, Jobs continued to receive the secret of cancer treatment, although he told everyone that he was cured. Cancer has spread to his liver at this time.
- In the past two and a half years of his life, Jobs did not want to go out or travel, but I wanted to focus on the products he built for Apple: namely, iPhone and IPad. "I think he would have liked to have won television [as well]," says Isaacson. "He wanted to make an easy to use TV. ... But he began to focus on his family again as well. And it was a painful brutal fight. And he will say to me often about the pain."
- The work is sometimes brought up the topic of death in their most recent meetings. "I saw my life as an arc, it is over, and over that nothing mattered," Jobs said in an interview revealed. "You're born alone, you'll die alone. And is anything else really matter? I mean, what exactly is it that you have to lose Steve? Did you know? There's nothing. "
- Jobs also said that he began to believe in the existence of God "is a bit more." "Maybe it's because I want to believe in an afterlife. It's when you die, it is not just all disappear. Wisdom you have accumulated. Once she lives," Jobs said on the tape. He paused before he continued: "Yes, but sometimes I think that is the same as the switch. Click and you're gone. And that's why I do not like to wear-breakers on devices Apple."
